Music embodies feeling without forcing it to contend and combine with thought, as it is forced in most arts and especially in the art of words.

Franz Liszt
About This Quote

Music, a form of art that is a mixture of beauty and feeling without restricting either, is a powerful instrument for conveying emotions. It is the most intimate of all art forms because it can touch us in ways that words cannot. Music takes us from the world of our thoughts to the world of our emotions. Sometimes, music can make us cry or make us laugh.

It can make us feel things we never thought we could feel. In essence, music is a form of art that allows us to express ourselves while feeling our way at the same time.
